SEA LOVES ME: SELECTED STORIES (BIBLIOASIS) (PB)

Mia Couto first became famous for his short stories. This collection includes sixty-four of his best, thirty-six of which appear in English for the first time. This collection displays the Mozambican author's inventiveness, sensitivity, and social range with greater richness than any previous collection?from early stories that reflect the harshness of life under Portuguese colonialism; to magical tales of rural Africa; to contemporary fables of the fluidity of race and gender, environmental disaster, and the clash between the countryside and the city.
